    That goes against the geek religion of Space Nuttery.

    It appears you are trying to say "to"...

    "I know space exploration is very important"

    It's not. Stop bowing to the geek peer-pressure and just say it. Space "exploration", such as it is, is a hobby.

  4. None of it matters on Ask Slashdot: Any Place For Liberal Arts Degrees In Tech? · · Score: 0

    What matters is who you know and how they perceived you and what they remember of you. If you made one bad joke 10 years ago it can come back against you even if you're the best candidate.

    As much as I think space is a dead end and the ISS is a gigantic welfare program, I hate corporation bullshit even more.

    Sounds terrible. Is there no way to stop this shit? Medication? Electroshock? Cutting out the bad wiring?

    " all that crap on the CD"

    So you're agreeing that Canon can write crap? So what makes you think that somehow just the driver part is magically not crap? Every piece of software from a Japanese hardware company is universally garbage.

    Their user interfaces are also ridiculous. Just fucking awful.

    Canon has the worst, abysmal software to run their devices. I don't know how they manage to make it so complex and large.

    Does it have inner chambers? One of which goes on forever?

    Clearly, you are unable to grasp simple facts and sentences. This can go no further.

    "likely to have massive adoption in 5-10 years, which will definitely include usage in education "

    Yes yes yes, sure, of course. Whatever. See you in 5 years. Nothing will have changed. Except money hands.

    That doesn't translate into it being useful for education. I mean I can get a rush from flying a F-15, does that mean classrooms need F-15s?

    But that's the whole point, isn't it? I mean the first cars, the first radios and the first TVs were clunky but they were so evidently better than what was before that people used them in droves anyways.

    In other words, the opposite of VR.

    Except the auto-mobile had immediate and evident benefits, and with early 20th century technology!

    VR is nothing but a zombie technology that's been dying for 20+ years and occasionally comes back when a psycopath, errr job creator decides it's time to fleece the rich again.

    It's sad to see this level of mindless, uncritical fanboyism from adults. Talk about ignorance. You fools don't understand human nature.

    Jesus Christ, do you own stock in the company? Are you sucking their dick right now? They 3D printed a milk crate. How long do you think this "car" will last?

    The problem is that there are PLENTY of nerds on slashdot, you are referring to gullible, follow-every-trend hipster fools.

    How long did it take for the vacuum tube to give us electronics like the radio? If you look at how fast things changed in 10 years in the early 20th century, you'll understand why we think that talking about VR for 20 years is not very impressive.

    Maybe you'll be happier in an echo chamber with 3D printing and asteroid mining stories?

    VR is soooo '90s. I thought this would be about a The Outer Limits episode.

    Besides, I thought 3D printing was going to be the most transformative thing ever?

    "Local Motors said it outfitted the car with mechanical components, such as motors, wiring, suspension and a battery. "

    How is that 3D printed? You can repeat the press release as much as you want, no one 3D printed a car.

    And people are finally wising up to the overhyping of 3D printing. About fucking time too.

    Where are the idiots with their "study" that a 3D printer pays for itself in a year??? LOL

    You're insane. What about the wheels, the motor, the steering wheel, the chassis? Only the cover was 3D printed. The ACTUAL CAR WAS MADE FROM PARTS MADE IN A FACTORY. What, exactly, are you having a hard time with? Let's start with the wheels. Do you see any wheels or tires being 3D printed? Where did they come from?

  24. Re:it's means it is on 3D-Printed Car Takes Its First Test Drive · · Score: 1

    I was tired of it last year because I saw that overhyping right away. I've been following 3D printing since it was called the "Santa Claus Machine" by Don Lancaster in the 1980s.
